"Every loss hurts. When you put 110 hours into a week and then you get kicked in the n--- like that, it pisses you off," Gase said Monday.

“It probably irritates me more than anything that we screwed it up on offense. We scored more offense for their team on the offensive side than they let up, and that bothers me. I feel awful because our defense played really well and they did exactly what we wanted them to do.”

And with that, the Dolphins (3-2) will look to turn the page on an ugly fourth quarter where they were outscored 24-0 and move on to the 3-1 Chicago Bears.

Gase also updated the status of left tackle Laremy Tunsil, who left Sunday’s game, saying he is in the concussion protocol.

“That’s all I know,” Gase said.

The Dolphins were already playing without starting left guard Josh Sitton, who suffered a season-ending shoulder injury last month, and center Daniel Kilgore, who tore a triceps muscle last week.

An offensive line possibly missing three of its five starters at the beginning of the season will attempt to slow down Khalil Mack and the Bears’ pass rush this Sunday at Hard Rock Stadium.

“You’re not going to slow him down, so …” Gase said.

Gase added he will evaluate if Sam Young will start for Tunsil if he can’t play.

If there was one turning point offensively ahead of the two defensive touchdowns the Bengals scored in their furious rally, it was a third-and-1 in the third quarter with Miami still leading, 17-3. Albert Wilson was knocked off his short route as the play imploded.

“After that, it was all downhill,” Gase said. “We didn’t execute the first part of the play, Albert got knocked off and then Ryan [Tannehill] should’ve had the opportunity to run but he couldn’t because we didn’t do what we were supposed to do on the front side.”

Gase was pleased with Reshad Jones’ return at safety. He said it was a smart decision to hold him out against the Patriots and that he came back stronger this week.

Gase also was impressed with how much ground linebacker Jerome Baker was covering and his aggressiveness on the blitz. He applauded former Dwyer High and FSU tight end Nick O’Leary’s effort and blocking against Cincinnati after his bump up to the active roster from the practice squad.
